  • We tried out this cheap 7-egg incubator to see if we could hatch our own chickens. Watch to see if it worked.
    Please make suggestions as to what we could do different next time to increase our success rate.

    What Iv read is that assisted hatching isn't recommended,but it's better to try and help than to let them perish in the egg, some hatchers have helped their eggs hatch, sometimes several times, and the birds ended up fine

    You need to turn the eggs 3+ times a day otherwise the embryo sticks to the side of the egg.(that could be why it couldn’t make it out) and you needed to put more water to raise humidity otherwise the chick can get shrink rapped and die during the pipping/out of egg stage. Hope this helps but do try again as they are so cute when baby’s

    oh man , you need to learn before you try that again ....you have to rotate the eggs otherwise it wont survive the hatch . Good luck for the next try . Theres nothing wrong with the incubator , i hatch 5 out of 7 with mine most of the time , you just got to do it right , but its a learning experience , just keep going with it and you`ll get it , its hard to watch them not survive , but , its nature and sometimes its a little cruel .

    Always check the temp of the incubator using a separate thermometer to verify actual temp also the ventilation does not look good. I also think there are oxygen problems.

    Don’t believe those idiots telling you not to help a chick from hatching especially if you already saw a chick circling it means the chick is ready to hatch and you can help that chick and also ifva chick was stuck inside and can’t move just check if the yolk was alreasy insidw the chick and no more blood on the veins then you can break the egg, you can use a toothpick to check the chick or the egg. I’ve been helping chick to hatch when I was 9 years old and I’ve saved almost 95% of chicks struggling to hatch.

    • @gardeningfarm553
      @gardeningfarm553 3 роки тому

      There is a reason it didn’t hatch. It was to week or had a problem. Sometimes you help them and they are not fully developed which is not a nice situation at all

    I saw a vid last year where a duck owner tried to incubate some 30 eggs or so (using a larger incubator, of course) and ended up throwing away lots of them (dud, unfertilised, quitters). I believe incubating these eggs successfully can be tricky. Fun, but disappointing sometimes...

    The eggs looked too wet, to much humidity can also be bad. Need to put an extra temperature and humidity monitor in there, buy one. For this incubator the humidity is controlled by how much water you put in the bottom. I looked at this incubator as well for myself but I didn't buy it because it didn't have a humidity % monitor. If the eggs are visibly wet there is too much humidity. I would have helped that speckled egg to hatch. Some eggs are too thick for the chick to break out, that's not always the chicks fault. Not all shells are created equal, some are thicker and some are thinner for whatever reasons. Always test any new incubator with a exterior Temp and humidity gauge or monitor of some kind first for at least 6 hours before you put your eggs in. If the temp is off even 2 degrees F it can make a huge difference.

    I have a nurture right 360.I just put my very 1st batch of chicken eggs in. They have 4 days to go about 7 days ago I was surprised with 6 duck eggs that were found (I didnt ask🤦‍♀️) I put them in my 360 incubator. Knowing I needed 7 days longer then chicken eggs. So I picked up a “cheep incubator 👆 “ just for the 3 day lock down time . I’m hoping this works. But we will see. Thank you for this video. So sorry none of them lived😢

    Sad none of the eggs, made it tought the baby clearly need it some assistance to get out usually they pip and crack the egg it clearly got its foot in the way (it need it help) was not turn right. the incubator does work I have the same at home and hatched a few times sucessfully with it, But as other say 1 you need to rotate the egg every day a few times a day.Also worth having a second termomether hydrometer to test temp and humidity as too much humidity can drown chicks afther pip is done and too low can shrink wrap.I have assisted some of my eggs at times been hatching a few years sometimes chicks get tired and need a lil help just carfully crack egg shell leave membrane on and keep the membrane on untill NO blood vessel with fresh blood are visible.chick Usually survive and have a happy life .wish you better hatching on the future. btw sometimes egg develope slowly as well sometimes can take up to 25 days for all eggs to hatch.GL
